Member for Cootamundra, Steph Cooke says she’s looking forward to seeing the growth of rugby league in the electorate, following the announcement of a $19 million dollar Canberra and Southern NSW Rugby League Centre of Excellence.

The State government is contributing 4 million dollars towards the development of the centre, which will service the Riverina and Hilltops areas.

Ms Cooke says the centre will provide access to high level coaching and trial games for up and coming players across the region.
